Daniels Football Banquet

This is Daniel's end of season Banquet/potluck. My favorite part (since I'm writing the blog today) is that I picked up lumpia from the Lumpia Factory for the potluck. Throughout we heard people talking about how it was so good and that I made it. Ha ha! One kid actually said "You like that lumpia? Daniel's mom made it." Anyone who knows me knows how crazy that is. But he got a trophy, had a good time, and came back home to being grounded.

Daniel, our caretaker.

hi this daniel for the last three to two days i have been taking care of my dad tab and elise because they are sick and im the only one!!!!!!!!!!!not sick

Elise is sick.

This is Elise, pretending to be sick. No, she's really super sick. Took her in and found out she has bronchitis. So the good doctor ordered an albuterol inhaler. We went to the pharmacy to pick it up, in the car I showed her how to use it. As soon as she breathed it in she doubled over in pain, crying and screaming out. She said it hurt her lungs. Ran back to Prompt Care, full speed, running a few red lights (she was having a hard time breathing, wouldn't you!) Got in there, we had 2 doctors with her checking her and making sure she was gonna live. Long story short; Ivy shows up, came to my rescue since I was a little stressed. The doctor actually asked if Ivy was her mom because Ivy was hugging her and rubbing on her back. I guess I need to step up my empathy a little bit. They did give her some benadryl, so Ivy pretty much had to carry/drag Elise out to the car. But we're home now! Did ya'll hear, Richard has pneumonia, took him in this morning. So don't breathe in my house or you'll get sick. Elise also has a migraine and has been out in the front yard throwing up. How lovely!

This is our latest venture, me and Elise. We're gonna undersand football if it kills us! I have a feeling football is gonna be in our live for a long time now with Richard and Daniel, and Andrea and Greg, so Elise and I better at least attempt to board that train! It would be nice to understand a little bit of what's going on instead of just wondering why people are cheering. So we ordered the book and we're gonna give it a go! Wish us luck. If I could just figure out who the quarterback is I'd be happy!

Oohh, this is sick Richard. He thinks it's the flu, I'm the nurse and I've diagnosed him with 'big baby syndrome.' All I hear is 'honey, bring me soup, bring me juice, should i take the vicodin or hydrocone/acetaminephen (which is the same thing!)' So I get 4 hours off of work tonight, spend it nursing the big waaaahh baby. Good thing I love him so much. At least now we know where Daniel gets it from. LOL! Unfortunately that's as exciting as our day today has gotten! -Tab.

Hey people! Its Elise.

Tonight we decided to have the all famous CHEESIES. CHEESIES are the best thing in the world. I would eat the best meal in the world and throw it up to have room for CHEESIES!!!!! Thats how much i love them!The word CHEESIES comes from the Grandma word DELICIOUS. Yes, oh yes, they are yummy! May I add that the missoinaries have inpeckible timing...we were just mixing the CHEESIES together and they walked in the door. They loved them. Elder Rivera(left) and Elder Cook(right) ate three each...Some men come back from their mission a few punds heavier while others a few punds lighter...I have a feeling Rivera and Cook will be the "lucky" ones to have gained a few ponds! lol. Every time they come over we have less food than before!!! HaHa.

hey guys,

its richard( proud papa). today was daniels playoff game for his first season of football. As it turned out it was also the last game of the season. This was an excellent experience for myself and daniel.

About 2 1/2 months ago none of us knew what to expect. I certainly had no idea of the progress he would make in just those couple of months. he has gone from the kid who was on the ground every play and never knowing which body part to hold, to the guy who on consecutive plays faught his way through the offensive line and nearly got a sack in the backfield, then followed that up with a fumble recovery on the very next play,( and i dont care what the refs called he had the ball and was down).

And all of this from the guy who hadnt played for any organised team sport until this year. video games to the gridiron yee haw.

As i said in the beginning proud papa.

final score our warren ave knights 6 silverdale 30. but what a great season.

Thats all for now time for b-ball. have a great day.
